, COMBINATION NECKTIEE, HOLDER Ann COLLAR BUTTON. V

- To all wiioinitmayconcern:

Be itknown that I, HAiznrjL, Hing-a citizen of the Dominion of Canada, residing at Bellamy, in .the county ofjLeeds and Province of Ontario, have invented certain I new and useful Improvements in Combination Necktie Holders and Collar Buttons, of which thefollowing is a specification,

The present invention relates to a combination. cravat holder and collar button, and the principal object is to provide a device of the character described, which will securely hold the cravat inproper position upon the collar, and which is more particularly adapted for attachment to permanently knotted neckwear.

A further object of the invention is to provide a holder and its associate button element, which may be'quickly secured together, and wherein the probability of the disconnectioii of the holder and tie from the collar is obviated.

With these and other objects in view, the

invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereunto appended.

Figure l is a rear perspective View of a cravat, illustrating its attachment to the holder. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the taken at the side thereof.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a collar and, tie, with the holder schematically illustrated.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the button fastening device for the holder, and illustrating the attachment of the same thereto; and V Fig. 5 is a magnified cross section of the holder or button element.v

Referring to the drawings, like numerals same,

designate like parts in the various'drawings.

eulty, I have provided a tie holder, which is formed in principle, of a singlepiece of wire, bent at approximately its medial point 1 to form a coil 1, of preferably one convolution, and the extensions 2 and 3. The upper extensions 2 is bent in arc form, andhas its Specification of Letters Patent.

free end terminating in a relatively sharp longitudinal continuityto lower extension 3,- is-bent upwardly at 7, and over to forma catch 8, adapted for the reception of thepointed end 4 of the upper extension 2. 1

The tie is firstknotted, and the upper ex passedthrough the, upper folded tension 2 is part of the tie, and the latteris positioned centrally of the said extension.

For securing the holder in place, I- provide a button or disk 9, and the said button openings 10 and 11 and, a relatively wide part is formed with spaced' hollow extension member 12 is attached to V .the button, and the said extension is formed with a series oftongue's13', which pass'into the openings 10 andll of the button. The

tongues 13 are upset against the. outer surface ofthe button, and serve to hold the said extension in position thereuponf The extension 12, by reason of its hollow construction, is adapted for the reception of the resilient spear. portion 6 of the holding member, and the bowed wire portion-engages the edge wallsof the extension 12'. i

To releasethe holder from the button extension, and consequently the necktie and holder from the collar, it is only necessary to apply pressure of the thumb and forefinger upon the vertical portions 4 and 5 of the'holder, thereby contracting said spear shaped loop portion 6 and resulting in the disconnection of the holder from the'button.

The button 9 may be used inthenianner similar to that of the ordinary collar button,

namely the shank 12 is passedthrough button-hole of the shirt band in the usual ner.

sions 2 and 3 of the holder, the same will readily conforinto the curvatureof the collar and will thus be held between the folds thereof.

F rom the foregoing, it is thoughtithat; the construction "of my invention will be By the arcuate configuration of the exteninan- Havingthus' described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure Letters Patent,' is:

1 A necktie holder compr s ng, in a singleintegral element ,a resilient member bent. at substantially its medial point to form a coil with substantially parallel extensions therefrom, the upper extension being-bent in are 'withsaid sharp point, and-means cooperating with said necktie holder for securing the same to a collar or neckband r 2.'A necktie holder comprising in a 7 single integral element .a' resilient member bent at substantially its medial point to form a coil with substantially parallel extensions therefrom, the upper extensionbeing bent in arc form with its free end terminating in a substantially sharp point, the

lower extension being extended in substantially the same-arc formand at its medial point bent downwardly'at right angles to the extensionand thence bent at substantially form a spear-shaped I right angles thereto to portion the free end of the lower extension 7 being bent upwardly to form a catch for cooperation With said sharp point, and a se curing device for said holder comprising a disc having-spaced openings, a relatively wide hollow extension attached to said disc and formed with a series of tongues which pass through openings in the discand upset against the outer surface thereof, said extension being adapted to receive the spear portion of the holding member, p
